It's basically just a Tolkien fetish video because he's really the only one with the breadth to draw on in fiction. I would have loved to have gone more into etymology, but time didn't allow (believe it or not, most people don't want hour long discussions on why Gondor is called Gondor). 

This video we go through (1) how names typically begin (2) how names change (3) how names relate to power and (4) how names relate to migration.

Let me know your thoughts over on the Discord — which you should really join if you haven't yet! Stay nerdy!

Bigger is a town in Scotland, near Edinburgh. They have the Bigger bonfire in the high street every new year, and it is in fact, bigger. (also they light it well before midnight but the news will show the lighting at midnight for dramatic reasons). About the only example of Bigger being used for a name.
